September 22, 2007 - Subliminal Message: Women Are Evil!!
So I'm in a bit of shock tonight I was watching the local news on TV and I discovered to my horror that a store in my home town was Burning down. It's called MYER and it also happens to be where I bought my recent and coolest bit of hardware my new 'LAPTOP'.
Its one of the biggest multi-stores in Hobart that sells everything from dvds to underwear. And now its gone up in a ball of flames. I guess your thinking why the hell should I be upset with something like this no-one died they all made it out safely and its just a shop.
But you see this is an old building it goes back to the early 1800's, I remember going there when I was just Five years old and seeing them put up posters of the 'new' Flash Gordon movie and playing with muppet show toys in that store. Its where my parents bought our very first video recorder 25 years ago although thankfully we didn't get the Beta machine. I've even known people that worked there. Now its just gone.
Its pretty much just fond memories and people who know me know I'm a very sentimental guy. The last time I was there was only this week on Thursday. I had a quick browse but its one of those places where if they didn't have anything on special the prices were way too high. The last thing I bought from there was the tickets to the armageddon expo for next month so lucky I decided to get them early.
So now they are estimating the damages not only to the myer store but the surrounding buildings as well its quite close to the only comic store in Hobart so I hope thats okay!! It seems that it will be closed until after christmas while they decide on what to do next. This will make a significant impact into our local economy so it will be interesting to see what rises from the ashes. I'm going there on monday so will stick my nose in and see if I can get close to the damage and get some photos of it. (EDIT) So I just heard they believe the fire started at the cosmetics counter which would be about right as it most likely was started by a woman looking in a mirror.
As I just mentioned before I have got the Tickets to Armageddon expo so I'll be there in mid-October to meet Bruce Timm (I hope) and hopefully other famous people. From reading recently it looks like Adam West and Julie Newmar have dropped out. And I was hoping that I could get Julie to sign my SGT BILKO dvd. Damn oh well!!
Onto other news and as you may know by now I have two blogs, This one and my blogspot so the differences should becoming more apparent. On the blogspot I will have my life as an artist in cartoon form with selected stories and experiences as well as my special projects and I have also begun a regular weekly posting of Anti-Girl cartoons which I hope to build upon. I will also do all my live blogging on blogspot. You can check it out HERE
This blog will contain all my bits of new miscellanious art and more personal notes if I have any new art on one of my projects I will also link to it from here as I know not many read this bloody thing. Anyway theres apparently an rss feed if you want subscribe to this for some reason.
here it is http://www.drawingboard.org/blogs/rss.php?w=Tinman2040
I'll chat to all one of you again in a day or two.
